Hey Hopped up,
Those are some big boys you have there.

I've been known to do battle with a few American Bulldogs in my day.

Since my German and Dutch Shepherd (my breed of choice for protection work) passed away and don't have the time to compete on the level I'm used to I adopted a year old pit bull just for a family and companion dog. He is a great dog here is a pic of him
http://farm9.static.flickr.com/8509/...2e975510ed.jpg

Here is a pic of my two boys that I lost. The German I lost 3 years ago and the Dutch passed last year. The dutch was a complete man stopper. Lord that dog could hit, it was like taking on a NFL linebacker.

Yeah I started out doing Shutzhund with German Shepherds and Mals. Shutzhund is the ultimate sport to display your training ability. Tracking, Obedience and Protection on three different levels its very hard to get to Level 3. So its not saying anything bad about your coach that he did not make the team especially if he was shooting for the Sch3 spot. I know a guy who won the North American title a few years back the dog and handler were incredible together.

The reason I left Shutzhund was the time restrait and as a decoy its not as fun as working in a full bitesuit. In a full bite suit the dog can target any area that he chooses or that I want him to. Legs, arms, shoulder, groin and if your not careful face, hands, and feet so you have to be on your game. When you know what your doing and the dog is trained you can get him to bite where ever you want him to. Does it hurt yes when you have strong biters you can feel it through the suit but its a blast.

Yes dogs are a members of the family and I miss my boys badly. So badly that one day I walked in the backyard and saw those empty kennels and went to the pound and got another dog. The kennels are still empty because he is basically a house dog.lol

Anyway here are some videos that I've featured in that I found on youtube. For those that are interested check them out.

I have to part a little history on some of you. Kabwe aka Bam along with Johnoro and a few others were at our first meet at Rickys and Ronnies.
Bam drove up in his very nice 55 Chevy 210. He was working on a 55 truck at the time and still is. Check out his build, the man has skills and shares his knowledge with everyone.... Except with me, he cant stand me. LMAO J/K

Well I had threw out mid July or sometime in August. Guess we need to look at some dates, find a spot to meet before the cruise. Think about where were going, points of interest. Any ideas from you guys will work.

Suggest you pick a date and float it, I would suggest two dates, this one or this one and start a new thread. Once you get buy-in, then freeze it. You'll never get everyone to agree due to schedules and vacations but this needs to get on everyones calenders early or you'll get lots of no shows. Once the date gets set then it's time to pick a starting point, breakfast and Lunch spots, dinner if there's enough interest. Maybe Breakfast is the starting point? There's a big enough area that there will likely be multiple starting points with everyone meeting for Breakfast. Hope the local guys will scope out and suggest the best spots, make arrangements if we get a big group. Maybe a few side stops? Will need a map and approximate times for late comers. This one will take lots of planning.

I agree, I will pick a few dates and then post it. Guys local to the San Diego and surrounding areas, it would help if you could post some points of interest and eatting spots, etc etc.

Or we could all meet for breakfast before the cruise. Again im going to put something together then post it in the California Section.

I'm in for this. Suggest planned stops for gas, maybe one half way down one there and one half way back up so the group doesn't split up too much. I can only get about 100-140 miles per tank.

I think most os us are in bout the same boat on gas mileage. But if any needs to stop sooner that will work. Again seeing that we have members from all over SoCal we will have to find a meeting spot thats suitable for most.

Anyone going to the Long Beach swap meet tomorrow? I've got a set of inner fenders out of my 67 that I've got to get rid of. Good shape, just taking up space in my shop and I'm not going to use them.

I'll have some C/10 Club openers with me too.

I'm in Pasadena and so can easily drive to wherever you are , just not to - morrow .

Are those inner fenders the same '67 ~ '72 ? . (my catalog isn't handy to check)

Mine has a big rust hole right below the battery .

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 
They look to be the same, but I'm not 100% sure. I'd like to keep them together as a set.

I'm free all day tomorrow and anytime during the week after 6pm.

Oops ~

I meant the bottle opener , I can get the inner fenders locally . I'm just curious of they're the same from '76 ~ '72 .

Yes hopped up too many crazys that is for sure, but they never will outnumber the wonderful kind people in the world. Its a beautiful show of love by the students, staff, faculty, and community going out at the college right now. Flowers, candles, cards, decoration on trees with letters from everyone that was touch by this. We can never forget that we outnumber the monsters out there.

Still trying to iron out the details on the San Diego run. Any San Diego members can weigh in on places to eat or points of interest would help.

Looking for places that have nice size parking lots.
